Yeah, to clarify, I also think S2 is very good. If S1 didn’t exist, I wouldn’t nitpick someone saying the show started great and curdled after 2 seasons (because S2 and S3 were by far the best).

The cost comparison is fair. Shake Shack definitely is more expensive than In-N-Out.

+garlic = genius

From the pov of the 70s/80s, he’s fat. Like, I’m sure he’s bigger than my friend’s dad who everyone thought of as fat when I was a kid then.

They did a whole article on it. It’s linked in this one. And no, it’s not hate for things that are fresh.

Damn, that burger looks fantastic. Funny, I had seen Culver’s “butter burger” mentioned here a few times and was under the impression they put butter in with the patty. But I see it’s just a buttered bun, which is always a good idea — Fuddrucker’s buttered and toasted top bun was always a key component of what made…

Eh, I don’t think that pattern fits for any of Schur’s shows.

A good question, phrased fantastically

‘Northern Exposure was such a great show, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a major influence on a lot of the “nicecore” television we’re seeing’

Yeah, I only watched the first free episodes, but never got the love for this show.

Oh my god you’re all so old!

I remember a watch party at my friend’s house, somewhere around age 8. He was the friend with Disney Channel and the mom who liked to throw little parties for no particular reason. She was lovely; the dad was a nightmare - so much screaming.

My grocery shopping tip is Friday nights. My wife was out of the country on assignment for the better part of a year, so I ended up with greater need to be fully on top of errands (since no one else was going to pick up the slack, and the cats need litter!) and little to do on most Friday nights.

You seem like a garbage person. Is licking the conveyor belt big in your part of the country?

Nothing infuriates you more than minimum wage retail workers who can’t read your mind?

Dolly Parton is a national treasure.

Ground turkey had its day as a substitute for ground beef.

This post completely ignores sliced deli meats. I’m certain there are people in this country who eat turkey five days a week. I'm not taking outliers like someone who hunts wild turkey, I'm talking people with very "normal" suburban tastes, whose typical lunch includes sliced turkey in a sandwich.

I notice you didn’t mention any wild game (or really much in the way of meats that are actually eaten).

Omg so hot. Nobody badasses quite like a spicy-food badass.
